I was on the fence about buying this game after being disappointed in the last two maddens but the demo was good and my friend offered to split the cost with me. Then along comes a sweet $39 no tax deal I couldn't refuse. So for less than $20 bucks I get Madden 10!

I play superstar mode and it's gone BACKWARDS. Gone are the NFL combine and interview questions. Ingame commentary is STILL not added. There is no more leadership bonuses. I can't choose my agent like I did before. I still have no idea how my guy progresses as there are no more mini-games for me to train on. Superstar mode is quite literally bare bones mode.

But wait! They did add one new feature called SUPER SUPERSTAR. It's a special download that will enable my superstar to get maximum progression. All I have to do is pay them .99!!! Wait, didn't I pay you $39 already for last year's game but with less features? WTF?!?!

I am done with this franchise. Gonna give it a few more days then probably sell it to Gamestop. I bet they will give me $40 for it. Suckers.

Madden 04 was probably my favorite. Or I played it the most at least. The defensive improvements in 05 were great but I definitely didn't play it as much as 04. I think 10 is really great though. Easily the best of the next-gen games IMO.
